How long should the timer run?

The one I have doesn't have a timer. The grinder runs until it has ground all the coffee for the number of cups for which it was set.

It runs 5-10 minutes, no longer than 15. My husband said he thinks you can program it to run longer. He didn't mess with it.

There is a 30 minute timer. You can just reset it if you want a longer session. You only have to turn the timer dial to do that.

hi Vicki, I have not been able to get it to do this. I don't even remember reading that this was possible in the instruction manual but granted I don't have the instruction manual anymore. But after looking at the timer itself -there are a total of 8 timer settings. So you could in essence run it for 1 minute starting at lets say midnight, then it would turn off, then start it again for a minute 15 minutes later, and so on for a total of 8 cycles. But that's really the extent of the extendable programming.

You have to buy a timer. It tells you that you need for it to be a timer that has complex off/on switching. I bought a simple timer with 10 minute buttons and it worked fine (less than $10).

There is a dial on the side of the unit that allows you to set the timer in either seconds, minutes or hours. Very simple interface

Timer has a max 30 minute setting however there is a "stay on" setting if you wanted to set a separate timer and then return to periodic check on whatever you are toasting/roasting.

I don't believe there is a timer. If it only works for 30 seconds, I would say it is bad.

I haven't exactly timed it, but it doesn't stay on very long. I'm going to guess 20-30 seconds.

The timer will go off and then needs to be stopped. Once stopped, it stays set for 30 minutes but needs to be tapped again.

Hi, we have not had any issues with our timer. Best of luck getting it working correctly.

The timer states 2'3'4' minutes based on selections. It will beep when finished.

I has a timer with a "stay on" option I suppose you could put it on "stay on" and use a wall timer. This thing is very heavy duty. I doubt seriously you'll want to run it 4 hours every day.

99 hours and 99 minutes-not that anyone would ever need to. Just push in the time you want and press start. Simple.

The timer can be set for any number of minutes/seconds up to 99:59; I think that is max. Can completely set the time to your needs.

Yes, you can set it for 14 hours. Just press the tabs down for when you want to timer to go on and off.
